    • BIG BANGS!

      • It's time to celebrate that time when the crazy anarchist tried to blow up British parliament again. The Pelorus Trust Sky Show will be lighting Wellington skies on Wednesday night for Guy Fawkes.  Prepared by world-renowned fireworks maestro Robert McDermott, the show will start at 9pm and will run for about 15 minutes to a soundtrack broadcast on Classic Hits and ZM, with fireworks set off around the harbour. Around 100,000 spectators are expected to show up for the big bangs, so get there early to grab a good spot, or head to the hills for the best views. Also, to get into the party vide, before the fireworks, check out The Ride Of Your Life Spectacle, a three-hour show featuring live music from the Beatles Review and the Beat Girls at Frank Kitts park. This show will also have choreographed water-sports performances from jet-skiers, wake-boarders, Thunder Cats and more. It's to raise money for the Wellington Free Ambulance, so donate a gold coin. This show starts at 6pm. And don't forget that 24-hour liquor ban that applies in the central city area, Oriental Bay and on the Mt Victoria summit, so no sneaky beers. -Stacey

        • ‘Daran, keen to hear what other options and structures you think the region should consider and what you think would be the best approach. ’
        • ‘Yes, indoubtedly Wellingtonians want change. And they are right. We continually need to be looking at ways in which we can improve how we govern, administer and provide community facilities and services. The community needs confidence that councils are as effective and efficient as possible in what they do. But for all the people who want change how many will plumb for a supercity when they are polled next year? My view is that this will be less than 50% for the simple reason that while many of us want change the majority of people don’t want the more extreme position of a single council to rule us all. Unfortunately a supercity is all that is on offer from the “consultation” recently undertaken by some councils. In a game of smoke and mirrors these councils, led by Fran Wilde, have sought to manipulate the debate to being about just two options – a single tier super city or a two tier super city! Wellingtonians deserve a more sophisticated and fulsome debate on the options for change. We don’t deserve to be railroaded into reform that will effectively take the “local” out of local government. ’
